Discover the amazing range of things you can cook on your outdoor griddle with this concise volume—packed with color photos and incredibly delicious recipes—at your side.

There’s a new favorite in the backyard-cooking arsenal: the “flattop” griddle. Flattops get the heat out of the kitchen and into the open air, where they turn out outstanding quick-grilled meals in mere minutes. They use high heat and a minimum amount of oil, which, in addition to being fast and convenient, is a very healthy way to cook. The recipes in this inventive and eminently useful book include:

• Sizzling breakfasts, from Breakfast Crepes to Grilled Cheese Breakfast Burritos
• Tacos, quesadillas, stir-fries, and other recipes that make flattop cooking an adventuresome, truly global way to cook
• Several distinct recipes for the most iconic flattop recipe of all—the smash burger
• Loads of beef, chicken, and seafood main courses that ensure your family and friends are very well-fed indeed
• Fun snacks, such as State Fair Funnel Cakes and Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
  With lots of tricks and tips for how to maintain, clean, and use your flattop, alongside the griddle-tested recipes sure to please eaters of any age, this is a fun and authoritative book that will make you truly happy you invested in an outdoor griddle.
